Conor McGregor attacks one of Khabib’s team only to get attacked himself straight after in new angle of UFC octagon chaos

McGregor's coach John Kavanagh added: "He actually didn't say anything. I was standing beside Dillon, I didn't see what he did but I could hear. So he didn't say anything.

"When I watched it back I've seen he kind of beckoned him on, you know, just stupid end of fight stuff. But I don't think it justified that level of response.

"Maybe there was something else in the lead up. Dillon is a bit of a troll online, so there's probably a build up of other stuff. Like I said, it wasn't that big of a deal to me, what Khabib did, it just really wasn't."

While chaos ensued outside of the octagon, McGregor and three of Khabib's team fought inside of it, with new footage appearing to show the Notorious throwing the first punch.
